end grain cutting board

an end grain cutting board thanks to the wood whisperer . unfortunately had a bit of a mishap while doing this so be careful out there and for god sakes use your push sticks ! wood is cherry and walnut about 1.25 thick and 12 by 18 inch , i absolutely love it and so does the wife most importantly. thanks for viewing all. for all those wondering not it didnt go to the bone .

Nice cutting Board!! But OUCH!!!!! I bet that really smarted. This reminds me of a Bamboo cutting board I gave to my wife. I didnt make the cutting board but bought is and shee got so excited using it one day she took the tip of her finger with a knife cutting potatoes. After Vascular surgery they saved it only for her to do it again about 6 months later. Now I make her wear a diamond glove when she gets to cutting away as I am tired of supporting the doctors family with her cooking LOL

You are now an offical CB member. The CB is beautiful, I like the wood combo. I have never used cherry in my CB’s. I will be going out next week and will definately buy some cherry. What tool did the damage? I have come close a few times with the table saw, but since buying the “Micro Jig Advanced GRR-Ripper System” I can cut without putting my hands in danger.

That right there is the reason my flesh is never within 6 inches of the blade. Push sticks, push blocks, featherboards, even with a blade guard I treat those puppies like the razor sharp spinning blades they are! Glad you weren’t too badly injured, thumbs are important!
